and the chinese communist party. yes, these discussions are all about the chinese communist party, not the chinese people. chinese communist party loves to use flattery as a manipulation tool. typically, they'll encourage industries from which they want to learn something to come to china using flattery. it's usually the approach usually taken is something like, we've searched the world over. your company is the best one we can find. you guys are so good. and you personally, mr. ceo, are so smart. we need you here now once you get there. and i think you've had a bit of experience with this and other companies have as well. you got to be careful. and yes, there are honorable business people all over the world that they are not just trying to figure out how it is. you do something a bit like how ray kroc went to mcdonald's, right? or steve jobs went to xerox and said, wait a minute, i'm going to take this idea. no, that's exactly right. for the last 30, 40 years now, this has been a technique that the ccp has employed r

china and worse than that, those precursor chemicals are illegal to sell in china and yet the chinese communist party actually incentivizes companies to produce them for export and they have no other use, by the way, except for fentanyl. it was something done by the chinese communist party on purpose to kill, basically, american lives. and that's they ask why i'm so hawkish on china, i think they're our greatest threat, this is an example why i think they're our biggest threat. they did it on purpose and for no other reason for i guess to harm us and also make money. i now recognize myself for five minutes to opening statements -- for opening questions. mr. kroenig, you mentioned the presence of china and chinese controlled ports on both sides of the panama canal. how does that pose a threat to the united states? mr. kroenig: i think it poses a number of challenges, one, to the topic we just discussed, china is shipping fentanyl precursors through the panama canal. second, by operating the ports there and including surveillance, chinese surveillance technology, they're using that to collect informati

live from philadelphia with the details and jeff, this is also putting more pressure on the chinese communist partyte that industry as well. >> reporter: you are absolutely right, maria. yeah, the chinese now do dominate the industry and the president wants to turn that around. i'm at the philadelphia shipyard this morning, this is the epicenter of shipbuilding in the u.s., more ships built in philadelphia than anywhere else. you don't get to see it much these days, take a look. you see the hull of a ship over there being constructed, this is where they put them all together. most of it goes on in china right now. take a look at the numbers. china last year built 32.9 million-ton of ships, more than half of all the ships built in the world, the u.s., 15th on the list. america used to be the leader in shipbuilding. the president as he said in his speech wants to turn it all around. >> we used to make so many ships. we don't make them anymore very much. but we're going to make them very fast, very soon. it will have a huge impact. to further enhance our national security. >> reporter: the president i

steve, a key platform for the chinese communist party to respond to those tariffs by the trump administration message in beijing? if you look at the chinese economy, the once mighty chinese economy has huge problems. ongoing property crisis, youth unemployment, local government debt and consumer confidence, not enough confidence from ordinary chinese families. they are saving too much and not spending enough. then there are the bright sides of the chinese economy. electric vehicles, solar panels, the new tech companies like tiktok. they are all export driven. so along comes the trump administration and it works tariffs on china and chinese goods. china then sticks tariffs on us goods and a trade war is not what beijing needs at this point because it is harming the bright parts of an economy which has some big challenges at the moment. nevertheless, china's premier is predicting a 5% level of growth this year. some might say that is optimistic, but they think they can achieve it. in that report, and we all watched it like looking at the tea leaves, the word consumption was mentioned 31 times t

today all of those assets are owned by the chinese government, the chinese communist party. argument in the book is i believe cefc was simply the chinese government, because today every asset that was in cefc, a retirement fund, whatever. it is a government owned account. there is no private owner. a lot of companies in china, an individual may own 50% and the government may own 50%. that deal is 100% government owned. the people involved with cefc are missing or in prison. some of the government ended up with the assets, so i think that is pretty suspicious in that cefc, the company that paid the bidens so much money, all of the essence of in the hands of the chinese government, which is our biggest adversary in the world. host: did you discover that on the laptop? through subpoenaing hunter biden's phone records? rep. comer: there have been stories in the wall street journal and baron's, and i cited stories in the book that talked about cefc and shred their concern that it was a government entity. the bank said they believed it was a state owned entity. that means that is

when the chinese communist party pouts and doesn't pick up the red phones when we call them. i mean, those conversations are how you de-escalate dangerous situations. i've already said, i think putin is a thug and a tyrant. that being said, we do need to have a working relationship with any nuclear power if we want to keep this world as safe and secure as we need it to be. >> let's talk about the tariffs. how concerned are you that the u.s. is entering a trade war that's going to hurt the economic strength of american families more than help them, because places like target are already talking about raising prices at produce. and it doesn't appear that these that this is just brinksmanship, that president trump is just threatening this or imposing this for short term. it does. it does seem as though he believes in tariffs as a long term policy. >> well, i'm not the world's biggest fan of tariffs as a permanent economic condition. that being said, i really am okay with their use as a tool, as a piece of leverage. i think it's really hard to say exactly what the president's mot

it's the chinese communist party that is the problem. they're the ones causing the fentanyl problem here. it's not the canadians. and these these tariffs are being imposed on canada in the name of national security. we've never had a better friend than ally. their cemetery in normandy, the canadians, is right down the road from ours. if anybody needs to understand that better. but it just seems to me that the president is nervous because there will be inflationary impacts. and the auto sector in particular, we're talking price increases as much as $10,000 a car. that's not a de minimis impact. that's a real that's a real hit. and when you talk to these farmers, they know what's coming. they're going to lose market share. they're going to have to take this tariff revenue and use it to subsidize farmers. >> i talked to a soybean farmer last night. he's the head of an association. he had that similar notion, although he was very still very complimentary of the president and believing that that there was going to be good coming out of it. bu

so kim, you think this is an improvement but i have to say are we comfortable with chinese, rich communist party way into the united states? >> a lot of people feel that way. embracing american opportunity and the american dream contributing to the country, this is a cash transaction. on the other hand i heard a couple people say we had 8 million people come in, many on public assistance. this is a more rational way to do it. there will be a lot of debate about this and it will be hard to remove it from the broader debate about our messy immigration system the past four years. paul: all right. you don't think this will make a big difference to the deficit, notwithstanding howard lutnick's claim that will bring in trillions? >> it will not make a substantial difference to the debt. it's like elon musk and doge, what he's doing is marginal. they have to address entitlements to get the debt reduced. interesting idea but it is not really the biggest problem on the table. with immigration reform in congress. and in some of these lower wage where there's a desperate wage. allysia: are most successful

that is the challenge of the chinese communist party, pla is on pace to surpass a 400 ship navy this year and by the end of 2030 is on pace to have 120 more ships compared to our very weak shipbuilding attempts in 2023 china added 30 ships to its fleet, 15 of which were large surface combatants. we added there. -- we added two. that will define the tenure of your time as secretary whether it is successful or not, we can start to address this challenge. fortunately, as you are seeing in these hearing, you will have very strong bipartisan support. once you get in, take a look under the hood, on exactly how we need to address this. let me ask one question. one of the things that has not come up yet is the ability to work with our allies to make use of their existing shipbuilding capacity. lessons learned from their shipyards. potential investments. president trump has expressed interest in that kind of idea. do you have any thoughts on that? >> thank you for the question. this is this is a critical issue. all options have to be on the table. we are already too far behind. we have to def

i want to do, which is bring taiwan back under the control of the chinese communist party.erritorially ambitious. we know better than that. it never works. appeasement doesn't work. i thought it was fascinating that a lot of this discussion 2 or 3 weeks ago about backing away from ukraine took place in munich. does that ring any bells in munich? the other reason to call that this is really bad is that it undermines our relationship with our allies, our allies are our asymmetric advantage in the world. china has customers. we have allies, russia has north korea. and, you know, 1 or 2 other vassal states. but we have allies all across the world. and this administration seems intent on poking the eyes of our allies, whether it's the europeans talking about a significant tariff tomorrow on canada, canada, what what have they done? and they've been our staunchest ally. and so the two pieces put together emboldening the dictators and alienating the allies. that's what i meant when i said this would be the biggest geopolitical mistake that this country could possibly make. >> what

but to emphasize, all companies in china are required by chinese law to give the communist chinese party access to all their information upon request. in fact, in 20 -- in august of 2017, homeland security investigations issued an intelligence bulletin warning that d.g.i. was providing critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the china government. today, lowest price, technically acceptable doesn't account for security requirements. my bill would require an evaluation of potential national security concerns associated with the lpta f.a.r. standard. instead of looking at the initial price tag and procuring the cheapest product or service, it's vitally important that the united states government understand the national security implications of -- implications associated with its federal procurement policies. i want to thank the ranking member, mr. connolly, for co-leading this bipartisan initiative with me. i urge my colleagues to support this commonsense piece of legislation, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida yields bac

it's no wonder the chinese communist party hates cryptoin general and defy in particular. china has already banned crypto within its borders. central governments hate that and of course the chinese government is one of the most dystopian, authoritarian regimes in the world. and so they've made cryptocurrency transactions he will legal because they view that's transactions, they rightly view those transactions as threats to their authoritarian power. so, yes, every time we create a new oco system use -- ecosystem using something like defi, that's a ecosystem that china abuses to threat. that's why we must make sure americans have access to this technology. we should make sure it thrives right here in the united states. there's been a lot of talk on both sides of the aisle about supporting cryptocurrency. we now have an opportunity to deliver results for the american people. earlier this afternoon we cast the initial vote on moving to proceed to the cra to repeal this rule, and i have to say i was incredibly heartened that 70 senators voted together in support of my legislat

have to increase our military spending in order to to confront that threat, which is the communist chinese party. uh, and then, you know, i expect that, uh, he's going to talk about a whole range of issues, uh, and, and what he's done in the first two, uh, you know, 100 days. he's also going to talk about all the cost cutting that's coming from doge. i can tell you, man, there is a lot of stuff that's surprising to me is that we're we're paying. who? what? uh, and that's the really surprising the american people. all of that has to stop this ideological spending that we're doing here, not only here in the united states, but across the world. that has to stop. uh, and then, you know, the big changes that he's going to do at, uh, at dod, uh, with our new secretary of defense. and how are we going to be spending our money much more wisely, uh, efficiently and quicker, so that we can get our defenses up to where they should be? because we do have a a pacing threat in, uh, in communist china. >> all right. congressman carlos gimenez, thanks for your time. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> the $64,

when it came to enforcement, we allowed the communist chinese party to expand its global economic presence and promote digital trade policies that starkly contrast to our american values. we're all familiar with the digital silk road and other initiatives they put in, put in place in this space. moreover, we've allowed and sometimes even encouraged the implementation of digital services taxes or dsts and other taxes or regulatory frameworks that unfairly targeted us businesses. i commend president trump for signing an executive order recently. to directly address the imposition of dsts and defend us businesses and workers, that is just the beginning, however, and we in congress need to find ways to better support our digital trade sector and defend against many of the increasing threats being made to stifle us economic growth, mr. mchale. again, appreciated your comments in your opening statement. as we look at how do we focus on winning the strategic competition against the ccp, which has to be a priority. i serve on our select committee on china, which is a bipartisan group focused on ho

speaker, the chinese communist party continues to infiltrate our homeland by purchasing american farmland and property around government installations. i've heard the concerns from many farmers throughout pennsylvania's 13th congressional district about the aggressive infiltration of the chinese communist party into american farmland as they outbid american farmers for critical land. we cannot sit back as our sovereignty is threatened. to push back against the chinese aggression, i co-sponsored the protecting american agriculture from foreign adversaries act, and the no american land for communist china act. these commonsense peelses of legislation -- pieces of legislation will allow the u.s. department of agriculture to review land purchases by foreign entities and ban china from buying land next to federal property. the chinese communist party has tried to undermine not just our values, but american industries for decades. it is time that we give the american people peace of mind and protect our american homeland from chinese influence. i'm proud to support these efforts to protect our

consciousness that was deeply rebellious toward the communist party and its way of running your country. um... well, i would doubt that. yeah. of the chinese, then my dream, badiucao, as the artist showers around too. some sunny spells to the north. north. north and west too. bye for now. britain and france propose a month long ceaserfire
